Why is the PS4 doing so bad in it’s home country?

itt: Sony ponys coping hard

Cope with what? It means on average Japanese aren't playing good current gen Japanese games, you know, the good ones? If they dont own a PS4 they CERTAINLY dont own a PC or Xbone which can only mean they have garbage taste.

>Beat out the only Nintendo console to reach 100M units
>Soon will surpass every legacy Nintendo handheld
Why do we stop the PS4?

Japan has pretty much been in a recession for the last 30 years, their population is getting older, and more and more people both don't have the time or even money to support kids so there's not a younger generation to fill in the age gap.

I can’t believe the PS4 came out almost 3 months after the American/European release

Japan hates western/movie games and censorship.

Nintendy has a bigger cult over there

Where is Claire?

PS4 was built in America
#immigrantsuccessstory

Isn’t it funny how the western market made FromSoftware popular? Dark Souls initially got popular in the west because of high difficulty while Sony Computer Entertainment Japan refused to release it overseas and gave those rights to Atlus.

>good Japanese games like REmake 2 and Sekiro
lol

>Japan hates good current gen Japanese games

ftfy

Coping still

Japs love portability, also this . I enjoyed my PS4 but I’m not sure I’m getting the next Sony console.

>post correct and factual statements in greentext for some reason and then shitpost with no actual contribution

That's not how you greentext user.

You know that if the roles were revesed, this thread would be full of Sony ponys gloating about how the Japanese hate Nintendo and some other bullshit.

DS sold over 150m, retard.

Dunno what's worse. Doing badly, yet still getting all the major games. Or doing significantly better, and getting no games.

>you know if the roles were reversed you could say that Japanese like good Japanese games instead of saying they do not like you did

Yes...???

Who gives a fuck about PS4 in japan?

>psone win his gen by a large margin
>same with ps2
>ps3 ended up beating xbox 360 in its final year, no one cares about wii because people had a wii and another console or pc
>ps4 wins again, just reach 100m units while Switch is strugglin to get to 50

Only delusional faggots deserve this hate

>xbone
lol

Your point? PS4 isn't going to stop selling past 2020. Eventually that DS will topple over.

Sony isn't Japanese you idiot

>That Xbone graphic

Because for japs anime tits are a pretty big deal and snoy went full retard. Also portability I guess but moreso tits. A censored up handheld wouldn't pull it off.

>who gives a fuck about the only console in Japan to play great current gen Japanese games

not the Japanese it seems

REmake 2 is a terrible remake inferior to the original game in so many ways and have the ugly RE Engine ruining the girls. Sekiro is just another Souls. Only DMC5 was the good Japanese game listed by him.

Just by letting them be, they are doing an excelent job at shooting themselves in the dick.

i hate console wars.

This. They still make Just Dance for the Wii, I doubt EA will ever stop making PS4 Fifa.

Yeah call me when Shitch dominates the PS4 on global sales

switch will likely surpass 3ds at this rate

It didn't beat the Wii's sales, its OUTPACING the Wii's sales, which means jack shit this late in the consoles lifecycle since the PS5 is coming next year, so its unlikely the PS4 will actually sell more than the Wii.

Oh a manspunk cerebrum. Sorry I thought you were a human being with actual thoughts

>E3 2020. Sony's press conference is packed. Media is preparing for a big announcement from Sony relating to the PS4.

>Kaz steps out, waving at the crowd. Thanks them for all coming and being supportive. Speaks of how happy he is to walk on stage at E3 for the first time in many years.

>"I'd like to first talk about how great this industry is. How much we have accomplished. Sony accelerated the consumer electronics industry, an industry which has spawned numerous innovations from both our partners, and our competitors...... We here at Sony have learned throughout the years that relationships in this industry that are destructive don't help anybody as it is today."

>"I'd like to announce one of our first partnerships today is one with Nintendo"
>Sony niggers in the audience boo and hiss
>"I'd like to take you through this." Kaz says, with a crack in his voice.
>"First, Nintendo will port some of their games onto the PS4."
>Sony niggers howl in approval shouting "NINTENDO LOST, IT'S OVER LOOL"
>"Second, Nintendo will purchase.... 599 million US dollars worth of stocks in Sony, and has agreed not to sell them for at least 3 years.
>Sony niggers are totally silent, and in complete shock.
>"And third..... as agreed, Sony has decided the dual-shock controller will be retired, and replaced with an updated version of the Nintendo Gamecube controller......."
>Sony niggers in the audience interrupt Kaz, cry bloody murder. Many shout "NO!"
>"....and will be offered on both the Nintendo Wii U and PS4. We have taken a look at other controllers out there. We believe that the Gamecube controller is a really good controller. And we think it will make a fine default controller."
>Audience becomes almost too loud for Kaz to speak from all the butthurt and anger.

japan loves handhelds what else is new, it's funny that a 6 year old console managed to outsell a new one worldwide

>Reggie smirks while all the Sony niggers viciously boo him, some laugh at him
>"Good evening..."
>Reggie talks a bunch of pre-written marketing fluff about how great this is for both companies.
>Kaz then goes back on stage.
>"T-thank you Reggie. Thank you Iwata. Thank you Nintendo. It's time to get this company back on its feet."
>Kaz exits the stage. Is shaken at what he just did.

Save your ass hurt for later.

The obvious "it's not handheld" response has been stated a hundred times already though it is correct.
Another is abandonment, both by devs jumping ship to phones and making mostly gacha shit now, and the consumers being obsessed with mobile shit that enables the devs to do their shitty practices.

Switch is the only game system out right now that can be used as a dedicated portable with real, non gachashit games aimed at the japanese audience.

Because - big surprise - most PS4 owners are wetbacks and spics. Ever wonder who's buying those yearly fifa games by the billions?

Mexicans.

Most PS4 owners don't give a fuck about good games, because the majority of the fanbase doesn't live in the US or Japan. So for all those post claiming that the PS4 sold astoundingly well, and then have you wondering where all the games are, you know exactly where to look and who to blame. Compare Switch vs PS4 owners in the US and Japan. That's a metric that'll shut these Snoys up for good.

Why is Xbox even a thing at this point?

God bless Europe and Fifa.

I could go on but I think we’ve all seen enough to agree that owning a Nintendo Switch is undesirable.

Japanese only play handhelds and mobile, been that way since the mid 00’s.

>bloodborne still only sold like 3 million
yep, totally not a CoD and FIFA machine

And this thread is full of ragers coping with their failure of a console.

>Compare Switch vs PS4 owners in the US and Japan.
Where can I do so?

that chart is a bit old, Switch surpassed PS4 in lifetime sales last month.

Mmm pasta

Why do Japs have such incredibly bad taste? The fuck is wrong with them? They are like a nation of fortnite zoomers but 10x worse

it won’t reach DS, nothing ever will again, those sales numbers are just impossible now.

>Vita outselling Xbone in Japan
Lel

still 3rd biggest economy on earth

based retard

This is it? The japanese apply their "save space" philosophy to gaming even?

Which failure? Xbone?? What are you talking about?

People in Japan have better taste than the mongrels of burgerstan

That's exactly how greentext work. Fuck off burger

It’s not about ‘saving space’ it’s that Japanese work culture is so soul crushing that the only time they even have to play video games is on their commute to and from work.

That tells more about the shit state of the Vita than the Xbone.

It used to be up there with the 3DS at its peak. Then Sony just decided to throw it off a cliff.

Have you seen their paintings and the shitty art style of their anime? They doodle like 8 year olds with progeria. Don't try to figure them out.

I read somewhere the adult gamers mainly play in transit, so handheld is pretty important to them.

I agree senpai, us nippon have superior taste! Kyaaaaaaaaaa baka hentai xD! Desu!

Americans work more hours a year than Japanese do, the overworked meme is just that, a meme

OwO

Yeah Sony really shit the bed by not supporting the Vita at all, they seemed to actually learn their lesson about this though considering they won’t stop pumping out VR games despite PSVR selling like shit.

>old console's sales waning
>newer console going strong
this is news how?

I love this meme. It's what keeps all the kikes, niggers, and normies out of based Japan

Attached: 1566343673910.jpg (584x580, 92K)

Japan hate any kind of force online except gacha

That's how PS5 going to flop hard there

This is why switch does so well.
Best probable I know of. If there's a better one point me at it please

Why can't they play at home too? Surely they have TV sets even if they live in tiny apartments

That and advertising for the Vita was dogshit. They had no media coverage

Sony caters more to the west now

Nah you seemed to misunderstand it. You somehow implied great games wer bad games.

>americans
You mean latinos. Look at Mexico at the top.

Because you don't have the will of doing nothing after 12h of work/study

demon's souls not dark souls you mong

Not even. It would maybe beat it for a week if it got a bigger release and 3DS had nothing but 3DS still outsold it what, 4:1 in Japan?

Yeah. Unless they really step up their game. Backwards compatibility could sell me on it.
Anyone else agree?

Agreed.
Cross compatibility. Game devs need to take a stand

Reminder that Nintendies shitpost more than they play games.

Speaking of dogshit. PSvita

If they want me to buy a Vita cut the price down by half and I'll buy it just to try it.
$130 final offer

>PSVita
>Shit
I think most people here agree that the PSVita is easily one of Sony’s better consoles. Better than the PSP/3/4 by far.

Vr not Vita.
GBoard auto correct is trash

I'd like to congratulate you for your opinion user. I disagree but congratulations

A jailbroke psp is way better that the Vita.
I'll sell you my first gen vita for $75. With case and 6 games

PS4's sold because it's the best console out. Yeah we all know even if we deny it

>39

My fucking sides

>16,666
Uhhhh, bros?

In no way is Vita better than any of their other consoles or handhelds. PS4 has most of Vita's games but they actually run at an acceptable framerate on there.

>Why is the PS4 doing so bad in it’s home country?
What? PS4's selling just fine in California

Because Nintendofags have no problem with monopolies.

cus japs spend most of their time on mobile trash so of course a shitty portable console would sell there

Just look at the marketing of that thing. They see the west as more lucrative, therefore they market it towards western consumers.

Hey bro, have some respect for the disabled.

Why is Yea Forums always ass blasted about the PS4?

It’s funny, here in New Zealand, all three consoles are equally popular, with most popular being PS4, Xbox then Switch.

Does that include going in to work on your day off, working off the clock to get the job you were told to do done, and the mandatory after-work hangout with coworkers?

How the fuck did 3DS still selling?

cheap hackable system. my friend brought his 3rd one after breaking the second (bricked the first).

I audibly kek’d. I feel the smartphone gacha industry has absolutely destroyed the business model along with Pachinko. Everything there just seems like a miniature casino now

You're an idiot. Mexicans love Xbox. That's why Microsoft had that event there a couple of months ago. PS4 is taken over by little kids, NigNogs, and SandNiggers

A 2DS bundled with a game is $80.

Why would you want a home console if you are never home?

Yeah, that would be a pretty huge plus, at least for me.

>next gen console with no competition is sellimg better than last gen consoles that most people already own
WOAH color me surprised

It unironically has no games.

Heya dickless.

japan is full of workaholics who have no time to sit down and play on the couch anymore. this is also why mobile gacha shit is doing better than real games over there.

>Japan has some of the longest working hours in the world.
>Nearly one quarter of Japanese companies require employees to work more than 80 hours of overtime a month, according to a 2016 government survey. Those extra hours are often unpaid.
>And the Japanese aren't taking enough time off, either. A study by Expedia found that Japanese workers on average didn't use 10 of their paid vacation days, and 63 percent of Japanese respondents felt guilty for taking paid leave.
>The term "karoshi" translates to "death by overwork" in Japanese, and is a legal term recognized as a cause of death.

That says actually worked, not time spent at your job doing nothing because they make you stay as long as the boss even if you have nothing to do. They have long commutes and then have to stay forever. So they may only get the same amount of work done but they do so by sitting around looking busy more often because that's what's expected.

Nah, Fifaland is Europe, with it's capital being Spain/UK

>Taken over
No, i still have mine. 1488

That has been obvious for quite some time. Remember that the Switch is still to receive a pricecut while the 3DS struggled especially its first years. In contrast the Switch has been flying off the shelves at launch prices.

seething

all me, cope, dilate, have sex, etc

looked at census data and there's average 15 million kids in japan age 14 or below through the entire 2000s. there's another 76 million aged 15-64 est. 2019. knowing that and the fact that the japanese are slower to adopt new things make the graph a lot more sense. ps4 has a lot of potential to grow, much like the psp did, but it's clearly not performing nearly as great. really if you look at numbers none of these brands are really doing that badly except for microsoft.
